Warmed by the Flames.

MONTERREY, CAL, April 2.-The Hotel
Del Monte was discovered on fire shortly
before midnight last night. Everything
was done To save il, but without success
The magnificent hotel and its contents
are a total wreck. No lives lost. There
were nearly three hundred guests in the
hotel, mostly English people. The fire
was discovered quickly enough to give
all an opportunity tn escape. Most of
the guests lost their trunks and clothing.
Those who were not overcome by fright
saved their jewels and money.
They were all huddIed together on the
grounds where they had to shiver all
night, many of them having on nothing
more than their night clothes. The
heat from the flames of the burning
building kept them warm for a time. hut
as the flames died out many of the la
dies suffered severely from cold. All
who could sought refuge in local hotels.
and arrangements have been made by
railroad companies To take them To San
Francisco as early as possible. The ho-
tel belonged tn the Southern Pacific Rail
way Co. and was considered the hand
soonest watering place hotel in America
1t cost $3.50 900 and was not insured.

Edgar NJ johnson. General Counsel for
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia Railroad, said it was very evident the
Commission could not investigate the
questions presented and to be presented
between now and April 9TH. Yet it was
equally evident that unless relief We're
granted all commerce between the North
and South must end on the 9TH. since
the Northern roads would not risk the
penalties which might be incurred by
following any other than their own in
terpretation of the law.
MEANS BANKRUPTCY,
Henry Fink, Vice-President Of the
East Tennessee, Virginia aud Georgia
road, said a rigid construction of the long
and short haul provision meant bank
ruptcy. The provision. he was sure,
was a concession To popular clamor, to
abstract sentiment. Congress had found
found it necessary to empower the Com
mission to suspend it. What kind of
schedules were the roads to file between
now and the 5th of April: If they put
up through rates to level with local
rates they would lose their traffic and
that meant bankruptcy. If they put
down local rates they could never get
them back and that. too, meant hank
ruptcy.
Several hours We're spent by the Com
missioners to-day in opening letters and
giving hasty, informal glances at their
contents, after which they were passed

shoulders, and trimmed profusely with
cascades Of lace. She wore white wool
shawl thrown lightly around her, and she
had some fancy work In her lap. Mrs. Villas
has been suffering from an attack Of
Inflammation OF the bowels. Mrs. Cleveland

same forming upright stripes upon the
skirt. The long wrap was Of the same ma

same fur. Her hat was a black
felt, Gainsborough in shape, edged
ostrich tips and loops OF black MORE ribbon
on one side. She wore gray veil, and
looked the picture OF health. Mrs. Villas
was pleased at the vlsit-and II is not the
